There was murderous intent in those eyes.

Shen Jiaojiao was startled, lowered her head in a hurry, clenched her fingers, and was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat.

If Shen Ruyi is found innocent, how will she explain it?

"Miss Shen, please."

Just as Shen Jiaojiao was racking her brains, thinking about how to deal with the situation next, two maids came forward and took Shen Ruyi to the inner room.

Because the nanny was someone close to the empress dowager, Concubine Li was unhappy but did not dare to stop her.

The Second Prince had no reason to stop it.

Finally, Shen Ruyi followed the two maids into the side room. Everyone here began to discuss, "Since Miss Shen said so, does it prove that she is actually innocent?"

"If she is innocent, then the homeless man outside the door and the words the Second Prince just said..."

"And Shen Jiaojiao."

Everyone had only spoken half of their words, but their expressions were full of meaning.

The second prince's face was burning with anger. This was the first time he and Shen Ruyi had met officially, but he did not expect things to turn out like this in front of so many people.

It’s all the fault of the Gu and Shen families!

Even a little girl can’t handle it!

He looked deeply at Shen Jiaojiao who was kneeling on the ground, and the murderous intent in his eyes was hard to conceal.

Shen Jiaojiao was stared at by two princes at the same time, and she suddenly shuddered all over and became afraid.

What now?

All she can do is pretend to be pitiful.

His mouth pursed and he was about to start crying.

Rong Yan spoke first, "If Ruyi is innocent later, then no one who threw dirty water on her today will be able to escape."

After scanning the scene, his eyes finally fell on Shen Jiaojiao's face, and his voice was as cold as iron, "Second Miss Shen said with certainty that you saw her with that beggar, so don't blame me for taking an eye from you!"

Shen Jiaojiao's face turned pale, and she subconsciously looked towards Shen Cangyun for protection, "Daddy, I..."

Shen Cangyun stood in front of her and looked at Rong Yan, "Ninth Prince, even if Jiaojiao said something wrong, she is not guilty of this..."

After all, she is his biological daughter.

"Isn't that a crime?"

Rong Yan sneered, his eyes cold, "I know that the Prime Minister is partial, but don't worry, I will treat everyone equally. Shen Jiaojiao wants to ruin my junior sister's reputation, so I will give her two choices, send her out to parade for three days, or I will dig out her eyes and cut off her tongue!"

"Anyway, she has two eyes, but they are useless. Her tongue is just for gossiping!"

His voice was not loud, but his inner strength enveloped the entire banquet hall, causing it to fall into deathly silence. In an instant, only his voice echoed in the entire room.

The Third Prince and the Crown Prince both changed their expressions and chose to keep silent for the time being.

No one expected that the Ninth Prince, who lived at home, could be so strong in martial arts.

But Shen Cangyun was cold all over.

He thought of the slap he received earlier. If Rong Yan got angry, it might cost Shen Jiaojiao half her life. In the end, he had no choice but to take action himself. He turned around and slapped Shen Jiaojiao, "You are throwing dirty water on your sister. I think you are tired of living!"

The slap was so hard that blood came out of the corner of Shen Jiaojiao's mouth. The jewelry on her head fell to the ground and her hair became disheveled in an instant.

"Daddy, I..."

Her delicate face quickly swelled up and tears rolled down her face like beans, looking extremely pitiful.

Shen Cangyun glanced at Rong Yan.

Rong Yan remained calm, but this was far from enough.

Seeing Rong Yan's eyes still on Shen Jiaojiao's face, and his murderous intent had not diminished in the slightest, Shen Cangyun had no choice but to slap him again, "You still dare to quibble? Do you know you are wrong?"

Rong Yan must not be allowed to do it himself.

Otherwise, Shen Jiaojiao will only end up dead.

Shen Jiaojiao was knocked to the ground, spitting blood.

Seeing that she was unwilling to admit that she was wrong, she said, "Daddy, I just don't want you to be implicated in my sister's affairs..."

“Bang!”

Shen Cangyun slapped Shen Jiaojiao in the face again.

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned by the beating. She covered her face and looked up at Shen Cangyun in shock. She was so heartbroken that she almost cried. "Daddy, you hit me too? My sister hasn't come out yet, how do you know I'm lying?"

She also didn't believe that Shen Ruyi was really innocent!

After all, even if she had not slept with Gu Qinghua, the second prince, and that beggar, what about Rong Yan?

As long as she has slept with a man, today...

Shen Jiaojiao stared with eyes full of unwillingness.

Shen Ruyi heard her say this when she came out of the door.

She laughed and looked at Shen Jiaojiao, "It's really unfortunate. I am innocent and cannot compare to the charming Miss Shen. I got pregnant with someone else's child before I got married."

"this--"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Doctor Qi, "Doctor Qi, is Miss Shen innocent? Then what are Shen Jiaojiao and the Second Prince doing?"

After asking, they all looked at Shen Jiaojiao and the Second Prince.

"This is impossible!"

Shen Jiaojiao widened her eyes and screamed.

Just now, she was still imagining that Shen Ruyi and Rong Yan were having an affair and that she had lost her virginity.

But I didn't expect that they were so fed up with each other that nothing had happened?

If Shen Ruyi is innocent, then she...

She didn't dare to look Rong Yan in the eye and could only insist, "She can't be innocent..."

Doctor Qi's face darkened. "Second Miss Shen, are you doubting me, or the nanny beside the Empress Dowager?"

The two maids were also unhappy. "I have served in the palace for decades. We are the ones who verify the genitals of the ladies before they enter the palace. How could they cheat on something like this?"

Then he glanced at Concubine Li and said, "Madam Concubine Li, what do you think?"

Concubine Li's face was extremely ugly. Her tortoise-shell nails dug into her palms and she forced out an inappropriate smile, "Of course I trust the two maids..."

When she entered the palace, these two people examined her body.

They are people around the Queen Mother and are too old.

But these words slapped the second prince in the face.

"Then, isn't the Second Prince just talking nonsense?" Everyone looked at the Second Prince with strange eyes.

Concubine Li's face turned green in an instant, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Shen Jiaojiao. It was all this little bitch's fault for insulting her son's reputation!

But now that things have come to this, it’s too late to reverse the situation.

Shen Jiaojiao's matter could only be dealt with later. The most important thing now was to get rid of the Second Prince. Concubine Li could only look at the Second Prince and said, "My son, tell me the truth about what happened that day. Your mother knows it well because I was also across from Zuixin Tower that day."

The Second Prince was delighted and hurriedly explained, "There was no such relationship between me and Miss Shen, but she was indeed with me that day in Zuixin Tower. I gave her the antidote, but even so, she still tore my clothes. My mother can testify to this!"

And was pulled back to the starting point.

Needless to say, Concubine Li would definitely say that Shen Ruyi and the second prince were together.

No one present could refute Concubine Li's testimony.

Unless more powerful evidence is provided.

Shen Ruyi frowned. She knew it would be difficult to cancel the engagement today, but she didn't expect it to be this difficult.

As it has evolved to the present, it is no longer as simple as breaking off an engagement.

Just as I was thinking about how to answer, Rong Yan showed up.
